One-Time Registration Fee: $45
Please note that full payment is due with your enrollment. There is a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $45 per child which includes 2 camp shirts. These shirts will be shipped to your home about 10 days after you enroll (and no sooner than March 1st).
For families enrolling very close to the camp start date, we are so excited to have you (!), however, this timing means that your shirts may not reach you before for your camper's first day. If this is the case, your camper can wear any green shirt to camp.
Optional Lunch: $35
You have the option to purchase lunch from the club or bring your own.
Club Registration Requirements
If you are not a Club Member of James River Country Club, you must be “Sponsored” by a Club Member in order to register your child for camp. The Sponsoring Member will not be charged in association with James River Day Camp in any way, however, he or she must be aware that you are listing him or her as your Sponsor. This policy allows the club to ensure that all Non-Members attending camp are associated with a Club Member in some way.
Age Range: 4 - 12
All campers must be at least 4 years old by the first day they attend camp. In addition, campers must be potty-trained and able to handle a full day program.
Activities
Each day of camp will be a new and exciting experience for our campers as no two days with KE Camps are exactly alike! Our days begin with Hello Camp, a morning meeting of sorts where, through an assortment of organized activities, campers and staff get to know each other, review the day’s schedule and sing our special camp song! Similarly, we will end our days with Goodbye Camp, a time for wrap-up activities and reflections, SMILE Bands, snacks, and “see you later’s”. The bulk of camp will be spent participating in a wide variety of activities throughout the day that may include:

Lunch & Snacks
You have the option to purchase a kid-friendly lunch provided by the club for $35 per week. If you would like to purchase this option, you may do so during online enrollment. Otherwise, you are welcome to pack a lunch for your child.
A snack will be served each afternoon to all campers. We encourage you to pack some extra snacks for your child as well.
Please note that we are a “nut aware” camp. We ask that you do not pack any food for your child that contains nuts. Likewise, the lunches and snacks served by the club will not contain any nuts. If your child has a food allergy and you have questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Packing List
KE Camps requires all campers to wear our official camp shirt each day of the week. Campers should dress in comfortable clothing and tennis shoes. Please leave all electronic devices and cell phones at home. Camp is a place to un-plug! Please pack the following items in a labeled bag or backpack:
